Trufast Tree Service was founded in 2017 by the owner, Kyle Theobald, and the now VP of Sales and Scheduling, Luke Smith. At the time of founding, there was a gap of service in the Springfield, Missouri market where all but a very select number of tree services were providing excellent service. We felt that by providing faithful, trustworthy service, we could establish a base in the greater Springfield area. We noticed that in general, the service industry has a bad reputation because their approach to service is more selfishly focused. It is still our goal that in every touchpoint, our customer feels safe, respected, clear on the terms of the agreement, and impressed with the attitude and behavior of the crew. While we don’t always get it right, we are determined to make up for it when we understand we’ve messed up. As a result, we’ve been rewarded to see the results via our online reviews and through what our customers tell us!

The naming of Trufast Tree Service is more unique than it looks at first glance. The word ’trufast’ is a Norwegian word which means "faithful". Rather than using the words faithful or fidelity, Kyle decided to use a word from his wife, Linn's native language to describe the desired ethos of the company.

The founding of Trufast is also unique because at the time of founding, Kyle Theobald and Luke Smith had only a few months of tree experience. We hired experienced professionals to fill the gaps of knowledge and looked for core members who could bring the expertise we needed as part of a developing leadership team. Throughout the launching years, we kept our to our ethos of excellence and won our place in the area. Luke has become the face of the company as he is the one who currently contacts nearly every customer we service.

We are extremely grateful to our customers in the Springfield area for welcoming us to the community and inviting us to partner with them in improving their properties.
